Annabelle Fall 2015 | Smoky Nudes Eyeshadow palette
This August, Annabelle Cosmetics is launching their Fall
2015 line. I was pretty excited to get a sneak peak at some of the goodies coming
this fall. Nude is the word for this fall and no Beautista should be caught
without the perfect smoky eye! Annabelle’s Smoky Nudes Eyeshadow palette will
meet that need. 
Annabelle Smoky Nudes Eyeshadow Palette
The Smoky Nudes Eyeshadow palette comes with 10 warm and cool tones shadows. The
majority of the shadows are shimmer with 3 matte tones. The case is small and
compact making it a good travel companion. The Smoky Nudes also comes with a
dual ended brush; one side has a small blending brush and the other has a
curved tip sponge brush.

But some of these shades are pretty awesome and are
reminiscent of the some other shadows from some very well known Naked palettes;
like the black glittery shadow on the bottom row instantly reminded me of Naked
3’s Blackheart and the bronze (bottom row) is a good dupe for Naked’s Smog. Excited yet? Yep
me too!
The rose gold, taupe and bronze shimmers would look great
on any eye for a daytime look. Overall, I think this is a great drugstore alternative to the
very much pricier natural palettes that are out there and maybe a better option
than the more recent palettes from L’Oreal and Maybelinne.
Since this is a smoky eyeshadow palette, I created a
night time smoky eye using the grey shadow all over the lid and into the crease
as well as smoking it out under the outer 2/3 of my lower lash line. Then I darkened
the outer V with a mixture of the black and dark brown. I used the pink to
blend out the outer edges of the grey and finished up with some of the gold (wet)
and a bit of the white in the inner eyes. I then lined my eyes with the Annabelle InstaGlam Kajal
liner and added about 3 coats of the CoverGirl SuperSizer mascara.
The Smoky Nudes Eyeshadow palette ($12.95) will be
available in August at London Drugs, Shoppers Drug Mart and online.
